City councilors in Toronto pleaded with embattled Mayor Rob Ford to resign and seek help after he admitted to buying illegal drugs while in office during a heated debate at City Hall on Wednesday.

The debate comes fresh after the mayor’s admission last week that he had smoked crack cocaine during a “drunken stupor.” Reports also continue to surface that Ford has allegedly been partying with prostitutes and driving drunk during his tenure in office.

“I am not an addict of any sort, so I am not quite sure why you are saying that I need help,” Ford told members of the city council, who unanimously voted in favor of a non-binding motion asking Ford to resign, according to a report in Reuters. Regardless of the motion, Ford remains adamant that he will not step down.

At one point during the grilling, Ford delivered a thinly veiled threat suggesting he knew of other city councilors who had engaged in illicit activity while in office — but he later went on to reassure his audience that he was not a “rat.”

Despite his apparent appetite for narcotics, Ford insisted during the debate that he supported the police force and that he was “a positive role model in kids that are down and out.”

Yeah... Great role model! This guy is truly a disgrace. Still in denial, and refusing to step down, despite admissions of drunk driving, crack smoking, purchasing illegal drugs while in office, hanging out and writing letters of reference for criminal drug dealers, threatening behavior, drunken stupors, misogynous comments... and this is just so far.... There are many more allegations pouring out and he thinks he can "move on" by saying sorry. Any parent knows, this is no role model of any sort, let alone a Mayor!!!! This loser was a mistake to have voted in, and now has created a circus of embarrassment to all citizens of Toronto. There are consequences to this kind of behavior kids, i sure hope Ford 's come soon enough before more damage is done.

@activeottawa201 The only way he could be a role model is if he is saying that even if you aren't very bright, even if you drink yourself into stupors, even if you smoke crack, even if you constantly tell self-serving lies, you too might one day be able to lead a great city like Toronto. Look at me, I did it. If I could do it you can too.
